On Thursday, November 25, OPPO unveiled the new Reno7 series of smartphones in China. The lineup includes three models: OPPO Reno7, Reno7 Pro and Reno7 SE. Smartphones differ from each other in size and characteristics, but are united by their display refresh rate equal to 90 Hz and support for 5G. Also, all three smartphones have the same design with flat edges.
